Hair Styles & Cuts

We all know that water from the fountain of youth doesn’t come in a bottle.

However, your hairstyle could really make you look younger (or it can do the opposite and add a few years to your aura).

Yes, it’s true that many gorgeous, mature hairstyles come with an “age-addition” inconvenience if for only because they appear as if something is holding them back.

This week, let’s talk about removing the age from your adult locks by adding a few tweaks, where the number-one rule is: just be daring!

Massive Curls

Mature Style: As a rule, owning extra hair volume is a great perk as one gets older; but because curls are so voluptuous, offsetting in style them may make your locks appear less full.

Younger Tweak: Have your stylist create a curly bob that hits just above the shoulders with wavy ends to show off the youthful lines of your face.

Deep-Side Parts

Mature Style: Women who part their hair deep at the side most likely want to generate a striking profile; however, the adult locks that hang from the side part may tend to get scruffy at the ends when left exposed to the elements all day.

Younger Tweak: Make an appointment to add a high-shine finish on the mane. Your parted hair will look tighter and neater, and your new finish will definitely send out some much younger vibes.

Long, Wavy and Formal

Mature Style: Let’s be clear…formal hair is gorgeous, but going long and wavy for those reserved bashes can make mature tresses appear a bit tense and elaborate.

Younger Tweak: Here, your stylist will most likely try securing an imperfect knot at the top or create a furry hairline with some loose flyaways falling from a chic bun to offer your waves a more young-at-heart, dashing appeal.

Girl-Next-Door Hair

Mature Style: Soccer mom hair is attractive, as long as the cut is not a mid-length blunt. Furthermore, drapes of deep bangs can add some years to your girl-next-door facade.

Younger Tweak: Get some layers that begin way below the shoulders with some jagged, point-cut ends to introduce movement. The outcome usually will produce a hot, soccer-mom grandeur.

Ends-Curled Under

Mature Style: Think of the local news weather woman with perfectly curved-under ends, and you’ll kind of get a picture of what we’re talking about here.

Younger Tweak: Ask your stylist for some resolute and haphazard texture in piece-y or beachy forms, and you’ll notice that the older “curved-under bob” will have turned into an image of someone who looks like they enjoy living life to the fullest.

Pixies

Mature Style: The hip thing about pixies is that they show off poise and self-confidence; yet, if there’re grown out too much, they may scream for some youth-image restructuring.

Younger Tweak: Go for a few eyebrow-grazing bangs that your stylist can lighten to bring more attention to your intense eyes. Remember: light fringes frame the face perfectly on most outgrown pixies.

It’s no secret that we stylists keep a careful watch on all the pre-holiday hair fads. We love letting our customers know about the hottest trends before they hit the streets, and of course, which pre-winter cuts are in vogue.

Celebrity cuts are the main holiday-hair source for discovering what us ordinary folk will soon yearn for at the salon. This post-fall season, the West Coast is shaking things up with sweeping rad-cuts that have emerged from last summer’s “chopping trend.”

Have you noticed that nearly every long-haired, A-list celeb has chopped their locks into either a bob or a mid-length cut?

Hence, take a look the pre-fall lob with traces of shaggy nuances, and you’ll understand what these holiday short-chop trends are all about…

Cheekbone lobs…

Somewhere amid an extended pixie and undersized bob lies a 2016 jaw-length style that holds a taper, which just slightly kisses a shaved the neck. Haley Bennett gave this polished and personal cut a whirl at Hollywood’s “Girl on the Train” premier, and people went bananas, afterwards.

Here, one can also add a few piece-y bangs with this grown-out lob to take this pretty pixie into 60s mode, which we believe a lot of folks will be asking for this holiday season.

The Kendall lob…

Kendall Jenner recently transitioned from super long to a soft-layer lob of which her stylist inserted some choppy waves for her Vogue cover photo. This cut is an absolutely-popular adoption of the lob, as most top-models soon followed Kendall’s lead with their own variation of the Kendall lob.

If you own some long thick and healthy locks, you might want to think about rocking your texture in piece-y, shoulder-grazing length too. Just be sure to have your stylist point cut the ends to award your gorgeous tresses some extra “Kendall” movement.

Lobs with bangs…

Next, we present the girls this fall who shell-shocked their lobs by installing bangs. Selena Gomez’s fringe has swayed Nickelodeon TV, since 2000. She later shortened up with a curly or straight lob after moving to the silver screen.

Today, some added bangs have amped Selena’s lob into a more saggy-feathered look that had most female freshmen rushing to the saloon to get before the 2016 semester began.

And even more bangs…

Blunt bangs also work well on a layered lob. Just ask Rihanna, who sported her sleek, mid-sized cut on her latest world-tour. Her above-the-shoulder cut is actually angled upwards in the front and around the face, which gives the whole image a choppier and most modest façade.

Short and shaggy lobs…

The short and tousled look hit late summer like a storm after Jennifer Lawrence flaunted her choppy lob with lightly feathered ends in a fall Vanity Fair interview.

This lob is an agreeable dissimilarity from Jennifer’s customary longer locks, which her stylist accomplished by creating an eye-catching bob that fell between her chin and shoulders. Lawrence’s pre-fall cut is modern because she parts the tresses on the side and adds some elastic swirls.

Isn’t it true that sometimes we develop a serious case of hair-envy after browsing our friends’ and their friends’ Pinterest boards, and Instagram photos?

While this harmless covet is nothing more than us just gathering some hair encouragement for pulling some life back into our locks; from time to time, we do feel like we’re stuck in anxious hair mode.

Makeover cuts, color jobs, night-out locks or in-office allure, topknots and texture can become overwhelming decisions to make when needing to choose a style-marvel for reviving your comatose tresses.

Luckily, you arrived here, where your neighborhood-friendly stylist is going to help leave your melancholy grandeur by giving you some important information for livening up your mane.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE

Understand that owning great hair is all about rocking the style with confidence. Regardless of what your birth certificate says, you can be in your mid 20s or late 70s, always go for what YOU like.

This means owning your style with pride, and always remembering to ignore the critics who say that you can’t sport a certain look after 40, or that only older women should chop their locks in super-short form.

RECOVER YOUR SHINE THROUGH REHYDRATION

A deep conditioning session at your favorite salon will restart your hair to “natural-born” mode, and it will leave the locks in a completely nourished state after getting out of the chair.

Here, what we’re talking about is SHINE, SHINE and more SHINE. Deep-conditioning salon treatments work ten times faster than your daily at-home conditioner does. Profound hydration also keeps the locks smoother for long periods of time.

MIX IT UP A BIT

One of the simplest approaches for breathing new life into your mane is to contra-alter your hairstyle. Are you a straight hair addict, or do you always rock bouncy curls when arriving at your work desk?

If so, ditch the flat irons and curling wands, every now and then, and execute the opposite. Blown-out curls look great if your stylist can pull off a slicked-back straight allure, and the finest hair will appear eye-candy fuller after leaving the chair with some extra-wavy locks.

ASK FOR A CUT THAT FLATTERS YOUR FACE

Controlled, geometric styles are both edgy and fun–but they don’t do much to deemphasize the face features you find unpleasant.

Instead, ask your stylist for a face-framing cut with layers to lend a hand in stressing your natural-bone structure. Face-framing cuts also make your eyes noticeable, which is a good thing.

VISIT YOUR SALON REGULARLY

Form an excellent relationship with your stylist, and make regular appointments to see him or her to ensure your hair stays in peak form.

Your stylist should be your essential go-to guru on what’s hot and what’s not. He or she should also advise you on which of your compulsory indulgences will work for your particular hair texture.

For a great haircut or hairstyle in Oklahoma City, call me (Anastasia) for an appointment.

Thick Hair: Full bangs on medium lobs with gross hair texture provide an edgy, spoiled-brat style that can be so “rock-and-roll” on the weekends.

Double-Toned Lobs: Hair that owns two or more colors becomes more interesting to look at when the hues stop at the shoulders.

French-Girl Waves: These two words say it all.

Side-Parted ‘dos: Where do we start? Hot redhead, platinum blonde, or sleek brunet cuts with deep side-parts should consider going shorter in length to make sure that the parting feature is the main attraction in the overall look.

Tight-Curls: Those who own them know that the shorter the hair, the more naturally-tighter they’re wound. Cropping curls to a shoulder lob solves this problem because it will emphasize the curls’ natural texture instead of focusing on how snug they are.

Hippy-Hair: Go ’70s with a lob that holds platinum-dye colors to match that Height-Ashbury, tie-dye shirt you just purchased.

Slicked-Back Hair: Long locks that slick straight back require hours of daybreak maintenance to get them ready for public viewing. So, why not just give the mane a snip, and then, figure out what to do with all the extra morning time?

Silver or Gray Mane: Why go silver if the locks don’t absolutely shine both indoors and outside? Medium lobs offer white locks a more polished allure by allowing flyaway strands to stand out naturally in any kind of light.

When Jennifer Lawrence stepped onto the red carpet at this year’s Oscars, our jaws just dropped as we stared at her flowing blond tresses.

She brought it all into the spotlight as she transitioned from bob to lob. The color! The style! And yes, the extensions?

Uncommonly disclosed among pop-stars, most of those lengthy, shiny locks we see in the limelight come from professional hair-extension artistry.

Today, extensions are as routine as makeup or high heels for modern women, and Lawrence is just one immaculate example of how remarkably stylish they have become.

“Hair extension taboo is so 90s.”

Did you know that most Hollywood stylist take with them massive hair extension kits as they work between movie sets?

That’s right; pro-stylist for the stars stopped jugging around tons of hair product after the millennium hit.

They swapped their hairspray and gel for bags and bags of hair extensions that can be immaculately installed to any ay texture for adding temporary volume to updos or some extra length to waves and curls.

So, it’s no wonder that today’s public has followed in hair extension “demand mode,” seeking out the latest advancements in extension technology and application.

“Understanding the basics can get novice trendsetters into the ballgame.”

First off, you should know that this market is already a multi-billion-dollar industry, which is why we pro-stylists keep current on hair extension quality, color and bonding systems.

With all work completed in only one visit, the product options and installation methods that exist today allow women to achieve lengthier hair, a fuller mane or even allow them to try out a different hair color or highlight.

However, you should know that hair extension “art” really takes place within the application.

Your stylist will need to use her fingers to bond or weave single sections of hair, correctly, into the roots of similarly sized proportions.

This may sound easy, but it’s actually a time-consuming process that requires some professional knowledge and sturdy hands in order to achieve an amazing natural result.

Further, color always adds more elegance and shine to any hair extension mission. Hence, your stylist will have to determine if base color matching or highlighting will be necessary, which should be performed before the extensions are put in.

Extensions will also bond to the mane for months on end. However, one should schedule a maintenance visit after about eight weeks to avoid breakage from occurring.

There seems to be a movement out there where women are swinging their focus away from the basic swirly, choppy-layered lob to a wavier, flexible cut and style that works on every hair texture and type.

Hence, “loose-curl-waves” are quickly turning into the latest trendsetting thing in aesthetics for most lifestyles.

So, what can these waves do for me?

Great question; loose-curl-waves bring a resourceful guise that borders along at-home beach waves and standard S-waves.

Likewise, women can totally tailor their cut to their liking with regards to how messed up the waves will appear to onlookers.

With this versatility, wave owners can go like modish, rock-‘n’-roll on the weekend, and on Sunday, easily deconstruct their loose-curl-waves into a contemporary, finger-twist swirl style that would be completely acceptable in any work environment.

How will my stylist pull them off?

Here, the pro-secret is to apply a semi-hot curling iron in a way that one usually takes a waving or crimping iron to the locks. Two-inch tress sections need to be lightly clamped in alternating directions, as the iron moves down in length, and the ends must form go-to curls before shaking them up.

Hence, this technique requires some professional hands to do the work because one must figure out the heat, time, and tension that will work correctly with your texture and how to apply the right amount of pressure on the tresses to ensure that the waves do not go too deep into S-wave mode.

Further, if comprehensive eye-candy waves are your thing, your stylist will perform an alternating barrel modus operandi to achieve some exploding loose curls that will fall down with a gracious bounce.

Are there any hitches to owning these waves?

Not really; however, there is one stipulation to owning loose-curl-waves — you must smooth-out your hair, first.

Now, smoothing really depends on texture.

Some people can head right into loose-curl processing after a simple blow dry; however, others may require a bit of chemical smoothing, beforehand, if they own very tight swirls.

Further, you may need to invest in some professional hair product to maintain those loose-curl-waves at home. Product selection will also depend on your hair’s texture.

Some locks may require dabbing oil on the ends to keep everything bouncy. Other manes may need a bit of texturizer or dry hairspray to keep the edgy look alive.

Be sure to ask your stylist about maintenance products before your appointment ends so that your new loose-curl-waves will last at least until after the holidays.

While preparing for our autumn rush, we’ve been tracking all the dazzling hair tones walking out of NYC’s apex toning points; and what we found are mixes of diverse and cool hues outing in the city’s most trendsetting hangouts.

Normally, autumn color trends hinge on migration techniques — going from sun kissed to a one-color blonde or moving from highlights to balayage.

However, this fall is all about unearthing a modern, well-mixed color. Think of a cool-girl, yellow-red blond with golden highlights and blends of warm cafe barbs lined with plush caramel ends, and you’ll be on the right track.

Inspiring? Well, here’s another perk, your stylist can easy create your tonal makeover for the fall without having to do a complete color overhaul.

Copper-Dawn

What To Ask For: A spacious copper-crimson tone along with intense cherry and orange undertones.

This is an intense, bold red color that needs some careful blending and correct tonal disparity to make it look calm, light, and contemporary.

Likewise, the roots are kept slightly darker for a more innate and reasonable grow-out. This means your colorist will place a color on your roots that closely matches your natural shade.

Sundry Metals

What To Ask For: Some unruffled highlights over your natural color.

This color trend is more the the younger crowd. A metal sundry owns high-contrast and mostly resembles surfer hair.

Your colorist will piece together highlights of light-cool, silvery tones, after adding a hair perfector product to the mane. This process will help match your natural color with the metallic highlights for an ideal ombré grow out.

Bright Bronze

What To Ask For: A tepid, russet base with tanned-caramel ends.

This hue is a rich brown color with a tad of bronze dazzle in the mix. Here, think of a light-bronze base tone with balayage on the ends.

Bright bronze is also low maintenance; one can go without needing a highlight touch-up for at least six weeks after their initial appointment. Even after two months, changes in an untouched mane’s color are hardly noticeable.

Platinum Ice

What To Ask For: A sub-zero, pallid blond without ash.

Today’s strong platinum is a simple icy color, and the secret to going mainstream on this hue is to know that no ashy undertones are allowed.

After leaving the chair, remember that chlorine products or pool water on the hair is a big “no-no,” which means that you might have to invest in a water filter for washing and conditioning at home.

Upkeep will depend on grow out; one should plan for monthly “root” touch-ups when sporting platinum ice, since letting the mane grow without maintenance may result the in locks acquiring a yellowish hue.

Our last post summarized NYC’s fab-color schemes for the fall; so, let’s keep going on this idea, and dig into NYC’s most modish cuts for autumn.

Fall hair trends have arrived early this season, and while you may find a lot of rounded cuts, uneven bobs, and undersized pixies out there, the majority of what we’re seeing leaving the City’s most posh salons has been heavily influenced by the shag.

Remember, a shag cut is a hairstyle that’s layered and feathered at the top and sides at random lengths. It forms a full crown and thins-out around the edges.

Today, there are tons of shag options to choose from that work just as well on people as they do on pop stars, and the good news is, the new shag also nurtures to hair texture of any kind.

Sound good? Let’s check out some rad NYC-shags, and discover if one of them could work for you…

Wispy-Bang Shag

This style is called the coolest cut in NYC by the trendsetters. It’s very sexy and rock-and-roll at the same time.

The theme is simple–a layered shag with flyaway bangs that are conical and bulky on the sides.

Loose curls or straight or wavy hair texture will energize this style’s allure, that begins by adding some salt spray product to the locks to bring out the mane’s “natural texture” before the haircut.

Mid-Length Shag: Uneven Layers

Women love this versatile mid-length cut just because it’s cool, this shag will work for any hair texture, as long as your stylist cuts the layers longer on the side and keeps the locks at chest level.

Doing so will flaunt your hair’s natural texture, giving it a loosely-fallen, air-dry look with some soft choppy layers.

Textured Shag: Petite-Dull Bangs

Do you want some drama in your look without some serious chopping? — well then, seriously consider this trendy mod.

The cut creates more of an edge by going with layers, but disrupting the look with some petite-blunt baby bangs, which MUST be cut absolutely straight (not tapered) to keep the style clean and contemporary.

Here, your stylist will air-dry the locks and wrap-dry the fringe to guarantee some voluptuous bangs that fall straight down.

Short Shag: Smoothed layers

Women with curly hair are not left out, here. This shag cut will add some bounce to your swirls style simply by performing a soft chop to form a bob with rounded layers.

A face-framing fringe will usually accompany the short shag, as well, which will structure the outside curls into perfect no-frizz form.

Square Shag: Layered Bob

Let’s stay in the wavy lane, and talk about the square shag, which works for every type of curl.

This cut forms a completely-balanced shape by adding a layered bob to the quadrangle mix and leaving a few random stands to create a light fringe.

Your stylist should cut up into the bangs, and NOT straight across, so that the fringe run unpretentiously with the rest of the hair.

Seberg-Pixie Shag

This is a “contemporary-woman” chop for the daring person who avoids the long hair look. A Seberg pixie broadcasts both your face and skin tone, and brings some feminine-masculinity into your overall look.

After leaving the chair, you’ll also want to grab some salon-style, light wax or pomade to upkeep the hair’s separation and lock slicing at home.

Think about for a sec … those with thin hair yearn for thicker locks, though folks who own thick manes crave thinner strands when styling.

Out of the two mentioned above, it seems that people with fine strands own the foremost hair troubles, only because their locks are either super smooth, very thin or mega comatose.

Well, if you’re in the latter category, you can breathe a little easier because while a pro-stylist can’t alter your hair’s natural texture, he or she can make your tresses look thicker than they really are.

This week, let’s talk about the four “DOs” for folks with fine locks: dupe-cutting, dupe-coloring, pre-styling, and dupe-styling; all fixes that provide people with thin hair something that they actually CAN HAVE.

Dupe-Cutting

Stylists create illusions all time on thin hair, and it all begins with a simple trim. Here, your professional will attempt to maintain as much weight as possible on the existing locks to give them a fuller voluminous impression.

Your cut should own a sturdy base line and possess some flawless, sharp edges. Just remember that there is no layering on cuts for thin hair, since it’s hard to obtain styling volume when the mane is layered too short.

Nevertheless, you can still go petite; adding some product to super-short, fine hair creates superfluous texture and height illusions as well.

Dupe-Coloring

Hair tone selection also swindles people into believing that the locks are naturally thick. However, this doesn’t mean that you should perform an all-in-one coloring job, which will actually remove texture on fine hair and flatten the mane’s appearance.

Here, what we’re talking about is including a few dim plates or low lights to the hue to assist in creating extra depth and dimension.

For example, darker flaxen hues throughout a blonde mane will make those one-color tresses appear multi-dimensional and especially thick.

Pre-Styling

Believe it or not, vintage Velcro rollers work wonders on thin hair texture. What these pre-styling tools do is they lift up the mane’s roots before any styling action takes place.

And so, your stylist will most likely enfold your top locks with rollers while the hair is damp. Once the mane is semi-dry, the rollers come off, and the tresses will be set in an elevated position for adding more volume later.

The pros also use pre-styling conditioning products and reverse shampoo procedures to get the hair ready for some extra volume; hence, volumizing occurs long before you even leave the washing table.

Dupe-Styling

Pre-styling fine hair makes hot tool application much easier for the professional. It gives those large round brushes, styling wands and blow dryers some extra power in creating even more volume then if the locks were just cut and colored.

Styling fine hair is all about creating volume with hot air at the roots and lifting the strands before applying other hot tools. Bear in mind that styling wands and irons offer those with thin hair some subtle curls and delicate waves for most-desired movement.

Finally, a blast of cool air sets in place the other previously mentioned “DOs” for an absolute facade of thicker hair.

Exploring short haircuts can be either enjoyable and exciting…or totally frightening. Most people fall into the second group because they’ve owned their long hair for like…forever.

We’re here this week to take the terror out of the chop by discussing some “fearless short cuts” that are notably undersized, but carry off the perks of their longer-haired version.

More importantly, these cuts can offer women the same sexy, alluring, and edgy feeling that accompanies fantastic long haircuts.

Now, some may not be ready to take the plunge. But let’s face it — when you’re ready, you’re ready— and if this sounds like you, read on about how to handle big chops with ease.

Fearless short cuts defined…

A “fearless short cut” isn’t what you own but only shorter.

Instead, it’s a skillfully chosen style that harmonizes with your current design. It’s also a cut that offers you the power to remake yourself everyday.

The holy trinity of short cuts…

Stylist discovered years ago that chopping fears arise from taking massive leaps from long hair to short hair. To ease this pain, we needed to discover an entryway answer into the realm of short styles.

Hence, the pros established three fundamental cuts—the bob, the short bob and the lob—which opened the door to a variety of chic-cluster styles and eliminated the fear of going under the scissors.

Actress, Jennifer Lawrence, streamlined the A-line bob after using the design to transition from long to short effortlessly between films. If you recall, in 2012, she flaunted some extra-long, chunky layers.

Sometimes, layers can trap women into keeping their long hair because the locks look terrific, and they’re so easy to style.

The A-line bob is a cut that simply lifts up the length so that the bottom layers reside closer to the shorter ones.

This design gives the bob a well-built edge, and allows A-line flaunters to keep most of a long-layer’s “fringe benefits” with an added plus of going for the messy, lived-in look whenever duty calls.

Short Bob: Blunt

If sleek, lengthy hair is your thing, you can pull off the same allure by going for a blunt bob with a strong fringe.

Silky hair is an eye-catching ornament in long hair mode, and blunt bobs, by and large, carry on this arresting feature.

Think about how Taylor Swift uses her bob-and-fringe as a hair accessory rather than a haircut, and you’ll kind of get an idea of what we’re talking about, here.

Lob: Short-Layered or Shaggy

Are you still afraid of the chop? Don’t worry, let’s see how the classic lob segues into a fearless short cut.

A lob is both a haircut and a design, all in one. The cut provides a means for all lob holders to style their hair any way they please (ponytail or bun); and the short-layered version of this cut is no different.

Short-layered lob owners can wear their locks wavy via air-drying or silky-straight with some hot tool assistance. These lobs can also transform complicated texture into more pliable hair by length and density dispensation.

Likewise, the shag version offers folks lots of movement and shape, which is what people with long-layered cuts yearn for.

Most of a short-shag’s movement will hail from the addition of side-swept bangs; just be sure that your stylist thins the bangs slightly enough so that they part on the side impeccably.

There’s something about the end of summer that makes us want to call our stylist and set an appointment before the fall festivities begin.

Let’s see now, we got the Halloween bash, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year all lumped into one season.

Last year, we talked about autumn’s lazy-girl texture fad; well, this fall is a whole new ball game, and we stylist are totally psyched.

Geo-Shaped Hair

Big bold shapes and eccentric lines will engulf super-clean, blunt cuts across the board this autumn.

We expect women with natural-textured hair next season to seek some awe-inspiring, triangular shapes or blunt fringes with eye-catching contours.

HINT: Geo-shapes work best on curly and wavy hair because the stylist can easily mold the loose texture into different geometric shapes and sizes with distinct sharp edges.

The Smooth Lob

The pros have revamped the lob into a more shiny, smooth and sexy look for the fall season.

This cut comes off an intentional trend, labeled by most as “the new long.” It’s contemporary and nonchalant while still holding the sexiness that extended layers offer.

Smooth lob owners will need to keep a high shine on the mane and to control any flyways. So, low-maintenance folks may want to look elsewhere if post-appointment hair care is not their thing.

The Gatsby-Bob

Short hair is poised to make a comeback. A 2016 Gatsby is a cheekbone-length crop for the “It Girl,” which can be sported on many textures.

With inspiration from the classic ’20s woman, today’s Gatsby is worn in natural, wavy texture with a mischievous tousle to entice the onlookers.

One thing to note here, this bob may take a while to grow out — so, be sure it’ll work for you before your stylist starts the cut.

Enhanced, Textured Layers

Longer locks 2.0 include adding some texture-enhancing layers. Stylists this fall will be offering framed layers all around the front of the mane, which produces a lot of movement.

Owning versatile layers allow folks to wear them as they like, whether its girl-next-door, night-on-the-town or OMG-I-slept-in look, the sky’s the limit.

Another perk textured layers can offer is that they will assist in delivering fullness to the top of the mane — which is great for the fine-textured person who is looking for some extra liveliness in her hair.

Higher-Hair

No, this is not the 1984 Grace Jones high fade; what we’re saying, here, is that a lot of brave and vogue women this fall will be making a really big statement by adding height to their hair.

However, healthy hair is a “must” for risqué folk wanting to step into high-hair terrain. This means no chemically treated locks allowed because creating height will require some precision cutting into the sides and edges.

Hence, hair must be in super-healthy good condition, as broken ends will most-likely yield a messy and undefined stature.

In the midst of this year’s hair rebirths and celebrations of all hair types and textures, we believe it’s time to talk about the return of the perm.

It looks like the decades of hair straightening treatments are slowly giving way to the 2016 perm appeal, but we’re not talking about those 80s Richard Simmons curls; today’s perm comeback arrives with a different twist.

With every revisit to the chair, both men and women have been demanding wavier and more voluminous locks, and thanks to decades of enhanced curl perception and to the tweaking of trends, we pro-stylists have managed to remove the perm’s stigma from the 70s and revamp it for 2016 pop-culture.

However, as society copiously welcomes back beautiful curls, there are some perm-101 notes that a person should take down in order to avoid the fizz and to make sure that their new perm stays modern, instead of going 80s retro, after leaving the chair….

1. Size matters when choosing the correct curl.

Today’s perm extends to all shapes and sizes. It’s not about the 70s tight spiral anymore; you can now own loose flowing waves, soft beachy swirls or even a semi-loose bob.

Ultimately, the curl’s end-result will depend upon the size of the perm rod your stylist uses. Generally, bigger rods will offer you a more soft-tousled look than the smaller ones do. Be sure to communicate what kind of curl you’re going for with your stylist, and we’ll be sure to accommodate.

2. Imperfection is key.

Something we stylists have learned, after perming over four decades of hair, is that innate curls and waves are never uniform. Your stylist should chaotically place them all over the mane.

Thus, today’s perms should logically follow, in order to get the overall style looking as “natural-born-hair” as possible.

A paramount approach to guarantee you receive the grade of perm that you desire, without error, is to bring a picture to your appointment. This way, both you and your stylist can work together on achieving a look that will suit you best.
